Besieged
Zorbek and the palace guards drew their swords in response to the cry for help, but someone else responded even quicker.
Leon's black spear flew past them from low altitude before suddenly curving up and shot straight through the soldier ant's eyes and crushed its brain.
The ant went limp before the palace guard was able to free himself, tossing the ant to the side.
The surrounding palace guards became alarmed when the carcass continued twitching and movement after landing on the ground.
"It's still alive!"
The palace guards gripped their swords and made several slashes, chopping off the head and even the legs.
Zorbek looked at this scene and felt something was not right. The ant didn't try fight back at all.
"Stop! It's just reacting to stimulus! It's already been killed under his Highness's spear!"
"What? It's dead?"
Startled and confused, the palace guards halted their attacks as ordered with perplexed expressions.
